Welcome to Cherry Haven, from your hosts Rod & Christine White, Naomi & Jordan Lawton.

This is our story - how we came to be your hosts at Cherry Haven

Rod & Christine are the founders of Cherry Haven. 

Before settling down in the Yarra Valley, their life was dedicated to serving remote communities throughout the world as missionaries where there were no roads and travel was possible only by using aircraft.  Rod was a pilot for MAF and assisted in meeting the needs for churches, medical needs, education,  government services, building supplies, mail, and people.

Naomi and her husband Jordan took over management of the family business in 2017 to be joint-owners with Rod & Christine.

 Their children, Harry & Mackenzie have the love for cherries in their blood and will be seen helping around the farm already!
